Twitch streamer Pokimane says her eight-year-old cat, Mimi, dies after an accident involving a balcony. According to multiple reports, the incident occurs at her home on September 28, when Mimi falls from a balcony and is taken to an emergency room. Pokimane ends a Valorant livestream after learning Mimi has been taken for urgent care, then later confirms the outcome and shares her grief publicly.
Context from the outlets includes details of how the fall happens. Times of India reports that Mimi falls after an open screen door, and notes that a security measure—described as not being available in her new residence—may have contributed. NDTV similarly reports that the death follows an emergency room visit and that Pokimane posts a tribute on X. Times of India also adds that, after the announcement, Pokimane addresses online criticism while asking for empathy as she processes her loss.
